Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Wu Xiang discerned the implications in Ye Taian's words.

It was clear they indicated that he had encountered trouble and wanted Wu Xiang to step in and help resolve it.

Wu Xiang had his principles and integrity; he would not use his power for personal gain.

But Ye Taian controlled the funds and resources that could be used to build a Hope Primary School in Shitou County.

Thinking of those children attending classes in classrooms that were drafty, hot in summer, cold in winter, and leaked when it rained, Wu Xiang felt distressed, so he gritted his teeth and said, "President Ye, if there's anything you're facing, feel free to tell me, and as long as I can help, I won't hesitate."

Hearing this, Ye Taian revealed a satisfied smile, "Actually, it's just a minor issue, my son at Jiangcheng Business College made a small mistake and was expelled. I personally called their major shareholder, but that shareholder refused to let my son return to school—a clearly inappropriate response for someone involved in education.

When students make mistakes, education should be the priority, with punishment as secondary. A little criticism and education for them to recognize their error should suffice, not outright expulsion, don't you think?"

Hearing these words, Wu Xiang could not help but roll his eyes.

He was well aware of what kind of person Ye Taian's son was.

To be honest, if it weren't for Ye Haiyang having Ye Taian as his father, he would have been expelled who knows how many times by now.

The main shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College expelling Ye Haiyang—Wu Xiang almost wanted to give that shareholder a round of applause.

It was good to expel him; a student like Ye Haiyang deserved to be expelled!

Yet now, with Ye Taian holding twenty million in charity funds and supplies, Wu Xiang was in need of Ye Taian's help and naturally couldn't say what he really thought, only managing to say, "The approach of the major shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College does seem to be lacking."

"Lacking? It's simply excessive!" Ye Taian said sternly, "There are no students that can't be taught well, only teachers who don't know how to teach. If a student is expelled upon making a mistake, then what's the use of teachers, and why do we as parents even send our kids to school?"

"The approach taken by Jiangcheng Business College sets a bad precedent, which is extremely detrimental to the educational cause. It may even negatively affect the entire education system of Jiangcheng."

"If every school handles student mistakes so harshly, who would dare to send their children to school in the future?"

"I believe that in your position, you should investigate and firmly suppress this harmful tendency, so that the entire nation doesn't ridicule us in Jiangcheng!"

His speech was righteous and grand.

"You make a good point; I will give a call to Jiangcheng Business College and inquire," Wu Xiang said reluctantly.

There was no helping it; Ye Taian had made his point so clear that Wu Xiang had to show some stance.

"All right, I await your good news," Ye Taian said, hanging up the phone contentedly.

Xu Yang was impressive, but even so, if one still wanted Jiangcheng Business College to thrive, they had to listen to Wu Xiang.

After ending the call, Wu Xiang didn't immediately phone anyone but first pondered carefully before he called President Zhou to get Xu Yang's phone number, and then he dialed Xu Yang.

"Hello, may I speak with President Xu?" asked Wu Xiang.

"This is he, and you are?" replied Xu Yang.

"Hello, my name is Wu Xiang from the Education Bureau. I heard that you expelled a student named Ye Haiyang from your school, is that correct?" inquired Wu Xiang.

"Why, are you intending to involve yourself in this matter?" Xu Yang's eyebrows rose in question.

"President Xu, please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to interfere; it's just that this Ye Haiyang's father, Ye Taian, holds a somewhat special position as the president of the Longhua Charity Association."

"At the beginning of the year, Ye Taian expressed his desire to donate twenty million in cash and some supplies to Shitou County in our Jiangcheng City."

"Shitou County is a poverty-stricken county in Jiangcheng City, where many children's schooling conditions are far from good, with some having to drop out early, unable to even complete their nine years of compulsory education."

"If possible, I still hope you could allow Ye Haiyang to return to school," Wu Xiang said, conveying his predicament without forcing Xu Yang to take action and hoping Xu Yang would understand.

"Leader, I've decided to donate one hundred million in cash and fifty million in supplies to Shitou County in the name of Jiangcheng Business College," Xu Yang said.

"In the future, thirty percent of Jiangcheng Business College's annual profits will be donated to Shitou County to improve its educational undertakings, until every child can at least complete their nine years of compulsory education," he continued.

"Moreover, I will establish a scholarship aimed at the entire city, rewarding children who perform exceptionally well in their studies," he added.

"You can bring your people to the college and sign the contract with us right away, so you won't have to depend too much on Ye Taian's donation!" Xu Yang proclaimed.

Xu Yang had long had a contingency plan; this was not a difficult feat for him.

Hearing these words, Ye Taian became excited.

One hundred million in cash and fifty million in supplies.

Future donations every year until all children have completed nine years of compulsory education.

A scholarship program for the whole city.

Compared to Xu Yang's grand gesture, Ye Taian's donation was nothing.

And with so many funds improving educational services, this was absolutely a political achievement for him.

Therefore, Wu Xiang immediately said, "Mr. Xu, your act of kindness moves me. On behalf of the people of Shitou County and all the students in the city, I thank you. I will bring my people to Jiangcheng Business College to discuss and sign the contract with you right away. As for what I said earlier, let's just pretend you never heard it."
Your adventure continues at empire

After hanging up the phone, he didn't leave immediately but first dialed Ye Taian's number: "President Ye, I've already called Xu Yang, the major shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College. His stance is very firm; he absolutely refuses to revoke the decision to expel your son, and there's nothing I can do about it. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye."

Although they could afford not to care too much about Ye Taian's donation, Ye Taian was after all known as a major philanthropist, and it was only proper to give him a response.

Having said this, Wu Xiang hung up the phone.

What!

Ye Taian was stunned.

How dare Xu Yang snub Wu Xiang—didn't he fear Wu Xiang would give his mother a hard time?

He was being far too arrogant!

But it didn't matter. If Wu Xiang couldn't handle it, Ye Taian would find someone who could.

So, he immediately dialed another phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

Ye Taian got straight to the point: "Old Dong, I've run into some trouble and need your help."

The person on the other end of the phone, Old Dong, was Dong Lixin.

He was the captain of a certain detachment of the Jiangcheng Food Safety Team.

The Food Safety Team, a semi-official, semi-civilian organization, was under the jurisdiction of the Health Bureau.

Don't underestimate this organization. They didn't have enforcement power but were granted investigation rights by the Health Bureau; if they found problems, they could report them to the bureau.

Then the Health Bureau would intervene and enforce the law, and closing down your restaurant was a certainty.

It was like the traffic coordinators on the streets wearing vests—they didn't have the power to enforce the law, but if you ran a red light, they would pull you over for a lesson. If you were uncooperative, disrespectful, or caused a scene, they would report you to the traffic police, who would then step in and take legal action.

By then, there would be nowhere for you to turn.

Therefore, this was a very important organization.
